Installation
Before Assembly:
Remove the protective film from each lighting tube before installation. Avoid applying excessive force when connecting components. Always complete a power test before mounting the system to the ceiling.
Step 1 — Assemble the Main Structure
Before installation, assemble the entire lighting system on a flat surface such as the floor.
If your kit includes a rectangular border, begin by building the outer frame first. If your kit does not include a border, proceed directly to Step 3.
Connect the longer LED tubes using the straight and 90° connectors to create the border structure. Ensure each tube is fully inserted into the connectors to create secure connections.
Step 2 — Power the Border Frame
Install the T-connectors with Intelligent Adapters at the corners where the power cables will connect.
For proper power distribution, connect power cables at all designated locations shown on the installation diagram to ensure the border receives balanced power throughout the structure.
Step 3 — Build Your Lighting Pattern
Assemble the hexagonal sections by connecting the LED tubes with the appropriate elbow and Y connectors to create your desired layout.
Arrange the modules according to your preferred design while ensuring all connections are fully secured.
Step 4 — Connect Power to the Lighting Grid
Install the Y-connectors with Intelligent Adapters at the required corners or connection points where power cables will be attached.
Depending on the size and configuration of your lighting system, multiple power connections may be required to maintain consistent brightness across the entire grid.
Power connection guidelines:
- 1 power cable supports up to: (65) 6W tubes or (24) border 16W tubes
Connect power cables at all locations indicated on the installation diagram to ensure even power distribution throughout the lighting grid.
Step 5 — Test Before Installation
Before mounting the lighting system, connect the power supply and confirm that all sections are functioning correctly.
For safety and proper installation, we recommend consulting a licensed electrician to verify your electrical setup and complete the final connection to a 85–265V power supply.
Step 6 — Mount the Lighting System
Once testing is complete, install the lighting structure onto the ceiling.
The system can be installed:
- As one complete assembled unit
- In multiple sections for easier handling
Mount the grid using screws through the connector mounting holes (recommended method), suspend it with hanging wire, or secure it using zip ties.
After installation is complete, connect the system to the power supply and enjoy your upgraded lighting setup.
